[Ubuntu Chicago] Developer Jams

[Max Luebbe]

As the new Vice President of ACM at UIC, I can offer meeting space  
here at our offices/adjoining workspaces.
This is also an activity I could promote to our student members and  
possibly increase involvement with.

UIC is very close to ogilvie and is about a 12 minute walk. (Walking  
out the front doors onto madison take a right, walk to halsted, then  
walk south on Halsted until you reach the campus)

Let me know if this is palatable to the rest of you.
